I started my game over (again) and I am having trouble finding a good Water type. I was going to
use Starmie; but I found a Ralts with a Modest nature, and I'm not about to pass that up .
Any watery suggestions?

Which stage of the game are you at? Also, you might want to list the rest of your team members. There are quite a few dual-type Water Pokemon as you have mentioned one example in Starmie, so doing so would help us help you make a decision =p

Let's see... you already have a Fire, Electric/Steel, Psychic, Dragon/Ground, and Dark/Grass.
So you should not pick a Water type which has a second type that matches one of these.

This eliminates Pokemon such as Swampert, Sharpedo, Ludicolo, and Whiscash.

Given that you are playing Hoenn, I'll not suggest Pokemon that you can't catch in the region, given also my assumption that you can't trade. Milotic, if you can find Feebas, Walrein, or Lanturn are possible choices.

Well, first of all, your team currently has a weakness to fighting, because Magnemite, Nosepass, and Cacnea (when it evolves into Cacturne) are all weak to fighting moves, so you shouldn't use Pokémon weak to fighting, like Relicanth and walrein. Milotic is probably the best choice. Might I suggest using Flygon instead of Nosepass? That would take away your weakness to fighting, and then Milotic could be in your last slot.

Well, first if all, Flygon is not a particularly easy Pokemon to raise until Trapinch evolves into Vibrava; it's not worth it in my opinion.
Second, Flygon has a 4X weakness to Ice, a much more common type in Emerald than Fighting.
Yes, I'm playing Emerald. My Gardevoir will take care of Fighting types, as well as a Skarmory I have in the Daycare.

Secondly, I can't use Milotic because you can't get the must-have Pamtre Berry til AFTER the E4.
I need my water type BEFORE the E4. Even if I do find Feebas, I'm stuck with it until I unlock the
word "CONTEST" in the vocabulary. That leaves Walrien, Relicanth, and Wiscash.

And thirdly, this is an experiment with un-commonly used Pokemon. (forgot to mention that >.<)
Using Milotic and Flygon defeats the purpose of it.

Actually you could use Hondew (or berries around there), in fact I usually use those for evolving Feebas if it's not a contest pokemon.
